    460th Review: My three girls loved this: their favorite movie since Tangled

    I'm going to give this a 9, not for its standing in the history of cinema, but for the simple fact that it made my three girls really, really happy - and it has good values without being prissy about it.

    For girls under the age of 10 it really is entertaining.

    The plot is appealing - a girl, Blair Willows, wins a lottery ticket to the Princess Charm School, and discovers her inner strength.

    All I can say is we all watched this as a family movie night, and we adults normally phase out fast, but both my wife and I really enjoyed this thoroughly and the kids just loved it - it's fun, and funny, and exciting and even though you know the tie-ins are there it actually stands up as a good kids film in its own right.

    Charming? You betcha.

    A charming classic

    Princess Charm School is definitely one of the better Barbie movies. It has great characters, a good story, amazing visual quality, and amazing voice acting. It's got the likes of Nicole Oliver, Diana Kaarina, and more. It really works well as a whole. Is it predictable? Sure. A little corny? Sure, but it's a true classic and one that is a must watch in the Barbie franchise.

    terrific

    This was a terrific film I am not much into Barbie but i watched it with my little sister we were both amazed. I would recommend it to all little children because it is exiting and the Morrel of the story is you can do anything you believe in they will fall in love with the story because it has drama,romance and comedy in also if your children believe in fairies then they would like this film too and if you liked this one I recommend watch all the other Barbie films like 'Barbie in a Mermaids Tale' and 'Barbie Fairytopia ' 'the Barbie diaries etc so this is a perfect film for all girls who like Barbie they will truly love 'Barbie princess charm school' so watch it today !

    I absolutely love it

    The first time I've seen this movie was around when I was 8 and it's my favorite Barbie movie since.I think it's really entertaining.Now I'm 14 and I don't like Barbie movies too much, but the older ones including this are definitely my favorites.Sometimes I even think I would like to see Barbie movies with live actors to see how it would look like.

    Portia is my Spirit Animal

    At first, I thought it was just another Barbie movie. The same old introduction opening with montage music which just screams: movie from the 2000s. A generic premise we have seen in so many Princess movies before: "The princess was in you the whole time." And the movie even commits to the trope in the end. But truly or just as a subversion?

    Midway into the first act, the movie introduces concepts, such as slavery and Portia. It unravels into a rollercoaster of emotions and plot twists, which would just simply fly over the head of any underdeveloped toddler trying to watch a movie such profound as Barbie: Princess Charm School.

    This movie is a philosophical masterpiece in disguise. And it will keep you thinking, even days after your initial viewing. What did Porta mean by "Floorcake"? Where did the other fairies disappear to in the third act, were they committing war crimes? And are things truly real, when you can not imagine them?

    Anyway, I am returning into your walls.
